Things To Do in Houston

If you’re heading to Houston, you’re in for more than just the usual city stuff. The city stretches out wide with pockets of personality everywhere. Uptown has those swanky shopping centers and food spots, but the real charm lies in places like the Heights where you’ll find cool murals and indie coffee shops.

Want to hit the water? Don’t just think bayous,grab a kayak and paddle through Buffalo Bayou Park. It’s peaceful and you get a pretty different angle on the skyline. The Museum District isn’t just for art buffs either, the Houston Museum of Natural Science is surprisingly interactive and the butterfly center is great if you like something beautiful and chill.

And hey, if you’re around on a weekend, catch a rodeo or a local music show at White Oak Music Hall. Houston’s nightlife is more laid back than some big cities but packed with charm,check out Montrose for dive bars and some of the best tacos you’ll ever have. Just a tip,summertime gets sticky, so plan your outdoor stuff early morning or late afternoon to beat the heat.
